[2022] updates, 0-2 interviews, 2+ interviews/acc, post-acc, choose your med school, sinai info session & div panel

by Premedical College

Dear 2022 Applicants, 1. Updating schools. We are getting lots of emails about updating schools you have not heard from. With questions about updates/letters of interest, please reach out to your House tutors first. If you have additional questions after consulting with them, feel free to reach out to us. You do not want to send updates to schools that do not accept them (some schools do not accept updates/letters of interest at all or only after you have interviewed), and you want to be careful if a school has a limited number of updates allowed. You may decide you want to be able to send those updates later in the process more than you want to send them now. **We had a longer discussion of updating schools in our previous message. 1. Zero to two interviews. If you have received 0-2 interviews, we recommend that you send emails now to the schools where you have not yet been rejected. In those emails, be gracious and acknowledge that you realize that not all people are granted interviews, but that you would be honored to receive an invitation. You can briefly comment on why you are interested in this school and can briefly give an update if you have something you would like to share. These should not be long notes. If you currently have 0-2 interviews, please get in touch with your House tutors and make an appointment with one of us at OCS. We can help you map out a strategy from here. Lots of people who were in this same situation at this point last year are now several months into their first year of medical school. 1. Two or more interviews or an acceptance. If you have had two or more interview invitations and have not been rejected from those schools (or if you even have an acceptance!), you can either sit tight depending on the number of invitations you have received and how you feel about those schools or you can send updates to other schools. 1. Post-Acceptance. Once you have an acceptance to any medical school, your House is unable to advocate on your behalf at any school. We (and your tutors) are happy to advise you, of course, as you advocate for yourself in your quest to receive additional interview invitations. 1. AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool. (https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-medical-school/article/amcas-c…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__students-2Dresidents.a…>) Please be aware of this tool and how you are supposed to use it. This link has a bunch of useful information, so be sure to read information provided there! The Choose Your Medical School tool will not be available until February 19, 2022. 1. Upcoming info session- Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai info session and diversity panel, Monday, 11/8, 4-5pm. We encourage you to attend! Please join us for a special information session with Dr. Valerie Parkas, Senior Associate Dean of Admissions, Dr. Carrie Ernst, Professor in the Department of Psychology and Member of the Admissions Committee, and Jessica Maysonnet, Associate Director of Admissions at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Our speakers will focus specifically on diversity, equity and inclusion on their campus. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and to get to know the Mt. Sinai team in a more comfortable setting! Co-Sponsored by the Harvard Black Premedical Society and the Harvard Office of Career Services.

[2022] emailing oona & emiko

by Premedical College

Hi all, We have both been receiving a lot of emails from current applicants about navigating interviews, sending updates, etc. Please send these emails to premed(a)fas.harvard.edu<mailto:premed@fas.harvard.edu>. We both read and access this email (and are the only ones with access to this inbox!), so you will likely get a quicker response than sending to just one of our individual email addresses. Thanks! Emiko & Oona
